We drove with Marc and Joëlle to Annecy and met up with Josy, Chantal, and Christian at their rented condo. Then we walked, mostly along the river, into the old town adjacent to a big lake.
The main reason we went to Annecy is that Joelle’s cousin was getting married nearby, which we attended in the evening. All three sisters were lovingly welcomed by both bride and groom and all the wedding party, obviously not only family but friends. This post is about our time in Annecy before that.
The town is a tourist destination for skiers in the winter, because it resides in the foothills of the Alps. And, like many places in France, the people like to have a lot of plants around their buildings.
People made rock art in the river. Later, Christian walked across at this section, adding his own rock to one of the stacks as a toll.
Some of the buildings go right into the river, which made Josy (who lives in Italy) comment that it is like Venice there.
The lake is a large outwash from glaciers in the Alps. Many people were enjoying the day with boats on the water.
A small park presented wooden sculptures.
We enjoyed our beer and wine …
